The Orange County Public Schools system in Florida has announced guidance banning trans students from bathrooms and the use of nicknames.

Good fucking luck getting kids to stop calling each other by random nicknames and shit.
Or does this only apply to teachers, thus making it basically approved child abuse?
Florida is a shithole of hatred and bigotry. If we’re still building that border wall we should build it across the Florida border.
The guidance states that parents of trans students may authorise teachers to refer to their child by their chosen name, but that teachers would not be obligated to use their correct pronouns.
They just directly admit that this has nothing to do with parent choice. Even if parents want to chose, it’s a firm “no, we will not abide.” Parents only have the “choice” to comply with the authoritarian rules. Conform with what a bunch of straight white Christian men in Jacksonville want for you or bust.
Lead by example Ronald!
Banning school children from using nicknames is the most petty overreach of the “culture wars” I’ve yet seen.
It would be funny if it weren’t for the fact it will likely cause hurt and harm to a vulnerable minority.

Which is precisely why they’re doing it. As always, the cruelty is the point.
Going after literal children is so contemptible.
Hopefully kids are rebellious enough to actively all use nicknames. Can’t punish 2/3 of students all at the same time without causing some major problems.
